writers Flatt & Scruggs
(G) Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named (D)Jed
Poor mountaineer, barely kept his family (G) fed
Then one day he was shootin' at some (C) food
And up through the ground (D) came a bubbling crude
(Oil, that is, Texas tea, black gold)
(G) First thing you know, old Jed's a (D) millionaire
Friends said, Jed, (G) move away from here
Said that California was the place he ought to (C) be

(Hills, that is, swimming pools and movie stars)
(G) Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his (D) kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping (G) in

To have a (D) heaping helping of their (G) hospitality

Nice folks, Y'all come back now, hear?)
